Your dps with Survival(my fav spec) is going to be up and down, As it seems very proc based at the moment, single target when lucky with lock & load and alot of crits i can top tables. otherwise i lag behind, i suggest waiting for your raiding epics before getting worried as the hit/exp cat has probably hit your crit rating alot.

You're forgetting that some ppl also get a 15% damage buff from going on their own. Lets not forget that on fights like the first boss of the siege of niz temple, your burst will also be incredibly high since the fight shouldn't be lasting very long, which could up the DPS numbers on short encounters like those, too.

This is a good summary of what almost all people on the forums talk about when they talk about dps. I have done 130k dps on first boss in setting sun (nothing special on the fight and did not have the 15%) however it was a 20s so that dont really say anything about overall dps. I just killed the darkmoon rabbit and did 49k as SV while not playing 100% serious and think i lacked some buff but I have ilvl 472.

My dps was really bad as SV and BM before I got above ilvl 460 so just keep gearing and worry about dps when you have full 5 man gear tbh.

I can pull a good amount of dps in heroics and I'm not even geared, my buddy pulls 100k+ on certain pulls and has gone up to 175k before too and he has basically all heroic gear. It's all about rotation and knowing what you're doing.
